Primary Outcome(s)
Main Objective: The primary efficacy objective of the trial is to demonstrate that the response to the treatment, measured in terms of DAI after 4 weeks of treatment, is not inferior in BDP group, compared to the one detected in the Prednisone group. The primary safety objective is to demonstrate a better safety profile in terms of steroid toxicity and reduction of endogenous cortisol production of BDP treatment compared to Prednisone treatment after 4 weeks of treatment
Primary end point(s): The primary variable will be the percentage of patients with clinical response, defined as a DAI score < 3 or reduced of at least 3 points for patients with a baseline DAI = 7 after 4 weeks of treatment with test drugs.
The secondary variables will be: percentage of patients with clinical response after 4 weeks of treatment without steroid-related adverse event (AEs), including cortisol levels < 5 mcg/dL (or< 150 nmol/L); percentage of patients with DAI score = 1 after 4 weeks of treatment; change in DAI total score after 4 weeks of treatment; change in endoscopic store after 4 weeks of treatment; change in CAI total score after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment; changes in CRP, ESR, after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment.
The primary safety variable will be the percentage of patients with adverse events related to steroidal treatment including morning serum cortisol < 5 mcg/dL (or < 150 nmol/L) during the second 4 weeks of treatment (after visit 4 to Visit 6); changes from baseline to visits after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment (from Visit 2 to 4).
The secondary varables will be: percentage of patients with adverse events related to steroid treatment including morning serum cortisol < 5 mcg/dL (or < 150 nmol/L) during the second 4 weeks of treatment (after Visit 4 to Visit 6); changes from baseline to visits 4 and 8 weeks of treatment in morning cortisol level; chnges from baseline to visits after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment in laboratory test parameters; change from baseline to visit 4 and 6 in vital signs; percentage of patients with adverse events related to steroid treatment including morning serum cortisol < 5 mcg/dL (or < 150 nmol/L) during the whole treatment period
Secondary Objective: Evaluation of efficacy of the 2 treatments in terms of improvements of disease related symptoms, general condition and disease severity, measured at week 4 and week 8;
Evaluation of the overall safety profile of the two treatment regimens after 4 and 8 weeks of treatment.
